Each system has an INI file in the relevant .\DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\$system folder that defines the objects in that system.
At the top of each file is a local_faction= entry, which would seem to define the local controlling faction. However every one of these files has li_p_grp as the value, meaning that LPI is the controlling faction for all of them.
I suppose this attribute probably isnt used for anything useful, given that every one of them has this value, as do all of the files in vanilla.
Is this used for anything? Would it be possible to set it to a meaningful value for the purpose of populating a "controlling faction" in the wiki?
The value isn't used in the game but has to be left in. It's basically a dummy value that should always be set to li_p_grp
